CONFERENCE ELECTS LUNDQUIST PRESIDENT
Succeeds Dr. Wingblade
In September 1954
President Emeritus
Called to Eternal Reward
Working side by side this year with school president Dr. Wing-blade
will be Bethel's new president-elect the Rev. Carl Lundquist, who,
until recently, has been pastor of Elim Baptist Church, Chicago. Rev.
Lundquist was elected the next school president by the Baptist General
Conference last June at Sioux Falls, S.D. to succeed Dr. Wingblade,
who retires. He officially takes office September 1, 1954.
This week the President's of-fice
issued the statement that
during this school year, the pres-ident-
elect will acquaint himself
with the duties of his anticipated
office, plus share in school pro-motional
work. He will also study
administration at the U. of Minne-sota.
Tentative plans are that the
Rev. Lundquist will teach in the
speech department of the semin-ary
for the fall quarter.
Born in Elgin, III., the 37 year
old president elect grew up in
Sioux Falls, S. D., where he was
converted and baptized at the age
of 11. As a young man, he was
a leader in Conference young peo-ple's
work. He was graduated
from Sioux Fallr ,, Ilege in 1939
with an A. B. J-r 11-8/ee and from
• Bethel Seminar' u1ri9r 42 with the
degree of B. D ‘ er taking one
year of graduate tduies at Eas-tern
Baptist Seminary, the Rev.
Lundquist was ordained on May
16, 1944, and began .serving the
E-;:n.it Baptist Church in Chicago,
where he has served for the past
10 years.
The new president elect is soon
to receive the degree of D. Th.
from Northern Baptist Seminary
in Chicago, where he has been
teaching in the speech depart-ment.
For the past two years, the
Rev. Lundquist has been acting
as chairman of the board of trus-tees
of the General Baptist Con
ference.
New Instructors
Join Faculty
Included in the many changes
and improvements on campus
this year, there are additions to
the faculty which will increase
our teaching staff.
Miss Lillian Ryberg, instructor
in Spanish, has returned to the
Bethel faculty after a year of
absence. While gone, Miss Ry-berg
did graduate work at the
University of Minnesota and re-ceived
her master's degree there
last spring.
Greek students have a new in-structor
who is Mr. John Snyder,
a doctoral candidate at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota, specializing
in ancient history and languages.
Other instructors have been
added to the faculty because of
additional courses in the curricu-lum.
Miss Ellen Lehr of Grandy
City, Iowa has charge of the sec-retarial
studies. Miss Lehr spec-ialized
in business education at
Iowa State College, Cedar Falls,
Iowa, from which school she
holds her master's degree.
The course in social work will
be instructed by Miss Betty Dan-ielson,__
a Bethel alumna.__ Miss
Danielson received her master's
degree from the University of
Minnesota and has had much
practical experience in her field,
having worked with several Twin
City agencies, and is now the
Executive Secretary of the Big
Sister Organization in Minnea-polis.
Miss Danielson the daugh-ter
of Foriegn Mission's Secre-tary,
Walfred Danielson.
Under the direction of Mr.
Charles Erickson, Bethel is this
year planning on a bigger and
better band. Mr. Erickson has
been director of bands in Cam-bridge
which have won state
honors recently and therefore, he
comes with a reputation for being
a good bandmaster.
The athletic department also
has a new instructor in the per-son
of Mr. Lynn Lundin, foot-ball
coach. The Bethel team was
coached by Mr. Lundin, in 1950,
a successful year for football, and
since that time Mr. Lundin has
served his term as a G.I.

Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom, pres-ident
of Bethel from 1914 to
1941 and long a prominent lead-er
in the Baptist General Confer-ence,
died after a lingering ill-ness
on Wednesday evening, Sept.
16, at Midway Hospital. He re-
After a long and unusually
successful ministry, Dr. G. Arvid
Hagstrom, age 86, president em-eritus
of Bethel College and
Seminary, passed to his reward
September 16, 1953. He was born
near the city of Sundsvall in
northern Sweden, September 8,
1867. As a young child he came
with his parents to the United
States, settling first in Red Wing,
Minnesota, and in Minneapolis
the year 1872. At the age of fif-teen
he was won to the Lord,
and joined the First Swedish
Baptist Church (Bethlehem) of
Minneapolis. Under the aggres-sive
leadership of his pastor,
young Hagstrom soon caught the
vision of the "fields white unto
harvest."
Hagstrom prepared himself for
his life work at the Swedish de-partment
of the Divinity School
of the University of Chicago, and
graduated with the class of 1892.
It was a notable class, including
a number of later denominational
leaders and the well known for-eign
missionary, 0. L. Swanson,
commonly known as "the Billy
Sunday of Assam." Having serv-ed
as Sunday School missionary
in Illinois a few years, Hagstrom
assumed the pastorate in 1896 of
the First Swedish Baptist Church
(Addison Street) of Chicago,
which at that time was the larg-est
church in the General Con-ference
fellowship with a mem-bership
of six hundred. After ten
years of a very successful soul-winning
ministry, a wider field of
service claimed him, and in the
next three years, 1906-1909, he
covered the whole General Con-ference
area as Mission and Pro-motional
Secretary. In 1909 he
responded to a call to the Payne
cently passed his 86th birthday.
Funeral services were held at
the Payne Ave. Baptist church of
St. Paul where Dr. Hagstrom had
been an active member for sev-eral
decades aild where he serv-ed
as pastor from 1909 to 1914.
His casket was adorned with a
large spray of flowers from "the
Bethel family".
Rev. Robert Devine, pastor of
the Payne Ave. church, officiated
and Rev. Martin Erikson, editor
of THE STANDARD, delivered
the funeral address. Others who
shared in the service were Dr.
Ragnar Arlander, former mission
secretary of the General Confer-ence;
Dr. Curtis Akenson, pastor
of the First Baptist church of
Minneapolis and Dr. H. C. Wing-blade.
A seminary faculty quartet
composed of Dr. and Mrs. Alphin
Conrad and Dr. and Mrs. Virgil
Olson sang two selections.

Bethel's first president.
Avenue Church of St. Paul.
It was thus with a life rich in
experience as pastor and mission-ary
administrator that Hagstrom
took up work as president of the
combined schools, Bethel Acad-emy
and Theological Seminary
(Bethel College and Seminary)
3 nuary 1, 1914. Here he gave
twenty-seven years of his life, re-tiring
in 1941, to the training
of _ young people__ for Christian
service. The work was not easy.
There were many dark days, and
days of economic__ uncertainty.
Yet, through it all, the same faith
that characterized the early lead-ers
of the school did not fail, and
Hagstrom, under__ God,._ led the
school__ to success._ One of__ the
high lights in the early days of
his promotional work at Bethel
was undoubtedly the time when
he received a donation of ten
thousand dollars from James Hill,
the founder of the Great North-ern
Railway System.
Upon retirement from the
presidency of Bethel, Hagstrom
remained two years as part time
teacher in the Seminary. In 1943
he returned to his first love, the
pastorate, and assumed the duties
as minister of the Emerald Aven-ue
Church of Chicago. After two
years, a failing of health forced
him to retire.
His talent for leadership and
administration, his great capac-ity
for work, the strongly evang-elistic
emphasis in his preach-ing,
and his friendly attitude to-ward
people, including little
children--these are some of the
human factors in the successful
ministry of G. Arvid Hagstrom.
And the great secret of it all,
the basic factor, was a life touch-ed
by God.
President-Elect Lundquist
Dr. E. L. Ackley of C6ntral Seminary
Speaks at Deeper Liff. Seroces
Deeper Life Week Services will commence Monday, October
12, and continue through the 16th, with Dr. Ernest L. Ackley as the
main speaker. Dr. Ackley is the Dean of Central Baptist Theological
Seminary in Kansas City, Kansas, and will be addressing the seminary
chapels Tuesday through Friday of that week, as well as the evening
vesper services.
Speaker in the college chapel
services will be Rev. Wesley L.
Gustafson, pastor of the First Ey.
angelical Free Church, St. Paul. It
is to meet the separate needs of
the college and seminary students
that these two speakers have been
engaged for the different chapel
services each day.
Although the theme has not yet
been chosen for this week of meet-ings,
the faculty-student planning
committee, of which Prof. Clifford
Larson is the director, has stated
the purpose of Deeper Life Week
"to help students make more vital
their personal relationship to Jesus
Christ as Savior and Lord, espec-ially
as this relates to basic desires
or motives, to diligent and mean-ingful
Bible study and prayer, and
to ethical living."

THE CLARION
Friday, September 25, 1953
Smorgy the Silverfish
We must simply wait and speculate.
Will Bethelites be prone to apply the el-ementary
principles of "Christian living-by-
grace" to the new lounge furniture of
the Edgren and Bodien dormitories?
Of course, we all want to express our
heartiest appreciation to Mr. Lidbom and
the rest of the personnel for adding this
bit of comfort and splendor to our cam-pus.
Now the sincerity of our stated
gratitude remains to be seen. How long
will it be before once more an occasional
split and dripping orange will be found
resting sponge-like under a Bodien love-seat?
Will the mantle mirror soon bear
the cracked aftereffects of a misguided
wallet illshot in a game of spontaneous
keep-away? Could this mean an end to
the boorish imita,'-ions of Gorgeous George
and The Mighty Atlas (which, incidently,
usually included the liberal employment
of davenports and cushions) or at least
a transfer from the lounges to more ap-propriate
quarters?
In short, the condition of the lounges
and furniture will in the main depend
upon the students' reaction—or should
we say, it depends upon their reformation.
The old furniture received much legiti-mate,
hard use, and it also received far
too much unnecessary abuse. Such might
Freshman Retreat
by Nancy Schnorr
The busses left school Saturday morning
packed full of students, suit cases, and
rolls of bedding. They arrived at the
beautiful grounds of Camp Tipi-
Wakan ab
, A.M. To begin the
retreat jus first meal was serv-ed
outsidf really appreciated
—because tining two days the
weither was rattier -chilly.
Most of the time on Saturday and Mon-day
afternoon was spent in recreational
activities such as soft-ball, volley-ball,
turf-bowling, swimming, boating, and ping-pong.
Monday afternoon the games were
played in competition—East against West.
The West won the boys tug of war and
the girls tug of war, while the East won
the boys soft-ball game.
Other parts of the retreat were the fel-lowship
and social hours. Saturday even-ing
during the social hour, the counsel-lors
presented a skit- depicting student
life at Bethel. Sunday afternoon the Beth-el
film was shown to better acquaint the
freshman with the school.
Then, of course, the highlights of the
retreat were the wonderful message given
by President Wingblade, Dean Carlson,
and the guest speaker and chalk artist,
Dr. Virgil Olson and Prof. Gene Johnson.
The spiritual peak of the camp seemed to
be the message given by Dr. Virgil Olson
Saturday night, followed by Prof. John-son's
drawing of the Head of Christ fol-lowed
by a campfire service. Although it
was very cold during the camp-fire ser-vice
every student was warmed in his
heart to hear how the Lord had saved his
fellow students and led them to Bethel.
Many thanks to Dr. Olson and Prof. John-son
for their part in making this year's
Freshman retreat the success that it was.
01.w. .2 onivs•N —
well be expected in an American Legion
"party room", but at Bethel it ought not
so to be.
The Apostle wisely stated, "When I
became a man, I put away childish
things." It might be much to our combin-ed
advantage if we channeled our policy
along the same course. The beginning of
the school year has found the lounges
in a comparative state of immaculate con-ception.
Will they stay that way? "To be
or not to be" is still the question.
by Stretch
by President Wingblade
To all new students we do say a "hearty
welcome to Bethel" and to former students
—"Welcome back." The doors of a great
year are open. Shall we enter to its great-iness.
We read in Genesis of Abraham and his
companions: "They went forth to go into
the land of Canaan and into the land of
Canaan they came." But they found that
this land was not necessarily a land of
peace except as they had it in their own
hearts.
That was true of Israel also when they
crossed the Jordan into Canaan. They
found many enemies even there—but great
victories when they obeyed the Lord. Can-aan
was not a type of heaven but a place of
battles and great victories — if they put
their trust in God.
And so you set out this fall to go to Bethel
and to Bethel you have come. Bethel is the
House of God — but only to those who have
God in their hearts. Just as Satanic forces
were very busy in Canaan so they can be
busy even at Bethel if we are not on our
guard.
What is the recipe for victory at Bethel?
I think we know. It is to walk in close fel-lowship
with the Lord — to have daily com-munion
with Him and to take advantage of
every means of grace.
God never meant a Christian to stand
alone. That is one reason for the church.
Shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart wt.
go forward.
And so at Bethel shall we do just that
this year. Staying close to the Christ, feed-ing
on His Word, calling on His Name—and
then keeping a close fellowship with those
that love Him—in prayer groups, in chapel,
in gospel teams, in the churches we attend
and in our own private devotion alone or
with the roommate. That way victory lies.
Yes — a great year lies ahead.
"When the heart grows faint
And the soul grows weary —
Brother, work, watch, pray.
For your work will bring you the greatest
pleasure,
And your prayers reward
is the richest treasure,
Brother, work, watch, pray."
I Resolve .. .
by Eloise Anderson
Dear Joan,
Classes are in full swing now, so
there's plenty of studying to do. In fact.
when I finish this letter, I Piave at least
four hours' homework to do. Glad to hear
that you've decided to come to Bethel
next year. The fellowship is wonderful
as I've always told you, but now I'm
going t∎ o tell you a few of the things I
haven't, told you- -it's about what I'd do if
I were freshman again.
To be in with, after the whirl of Fresh-man
Re eat, mixers, talent night and ini-tiation,
faced the innocent-sounding sub-jectsBible
Survey, Biology, Modern
tWorld, Swedish, Freshman Comp.—and
an aval4nche of reading, writing, and me-morizing
such as I'd never ever been
snowed under by before!
That first week, I remember, no one
studied—of us freshman, that is. I mean,
it took awhile to get settled and organized
and well—there was a whole quarter to
study in—why do it when the weather
was so nice. In fact with the week end
coming up, T had all day Saturday to
study.
That's how I got four chapters behind
in Modern World. You see, Saturday I
had to go shopping for the things I for-got
to bring with me. (And it takes so
long to get downtown on these crazy St.
Paul buses!) Then when I got back, I had
to write and tell Jerry that I had decided
to break up with him, which was why I
couldn't concentrate or bear to study for
a whole week.
Well, by that time, I was seven and a
half chapters behind in Modetn World.
(Really eight chapters because I didn't
know what I read in that first half.) I
forgot exactly how much I was behind in
Swedish. (By the way, it's wise to keep up
in Swedish!) And to top it all off, I was
lost in Biology. When midquarters came
and went, I almost went, too. I never told
you about that, did I?
To get to my first point—if I were a
freshman again, I'd keep my work up
from my first 8:00 o'clock class to my last
final of the quarter. Then I wouldn't have
had to miss that hayride to bone up for
Slivka's Biology "Qris" which in due course,
I nearly flunked anyway. And maybe I
would have had a bright-eyed, full-of-green-
vegetables look instead of the half-sick,
half-dead look of a 3:00 in the mor-ning
bedtime. I would have gotten more
out of studying, which was why I came
to Bethel.
I think if I were a freshman again, I'd
simply never cut classes, not even to
study for an important exam. It didn't
pay in the long run I found out. I couldn't
understand my roommates Bible Survey
notes. The boy behind me took pretty
careful notes—I could at least understand
them if I could read them, but he just
couldn't write or spell—especially names
Welcome
tO
College
by Dean C. E.
Carlson
This noon as I drove back from the fresh-man
retreat, I noticed that the leaves were
turning to new, more brilliant colors. Is it
coincidence that this should come at the
time school begins? Perhaps it is not. Per-haps
it is symbolic — r I'd of fall festiv-ity
to celebrate the s icance of these
days.
If I am not inistaken, there are a great
many people on our campus who are just
starting out on very colorful trails. The
beauty will consist largely in the variatifr..ts
and the contrasts. The very drab witl be
blended with the very brilliant experiences,
and in the combinations there will be much
pleasure and delight.
The first few days may be dominated by
colors, but within a week or two the more
solid, less exciting, shades will take over
and make a stable background to college
experience. These are the shades that will
wear well, and that will become part of
your lives in a larger way. Living effect-ively
for the Lord is fine art that requires
good mature judgement which balances the
somber and the brilliant.
When I say, "welcome to Bethel" I mean,
welcome to the exciting social and athletic
events, but also to the many hours of hard
study. I mean welcome to the mountain-top
spiritual inspirations, but also to the frus-trating
and humbling experiences which
teach a dependence upon God. I mean wel-come
to a jovial, laughing fellowship, but
welcome, too, to a fellowship burdened and
heavy of soul for the needs of people.
like Jehoshaphat and Melchizedek. So all
the time it took to make up for a missing
lecture, took extra time froth my study
hours, which took time from my sleeping
hours, which made me get less out of
studying when I did do it, which made
me less ready for a test which—well, it
was just a big vicious circle and it was
throwing me. So on the basis of excruci-ating
experience, cutting doesn't pay!
Well, one learns by experience, and
another thing I learned was not to take
books home for Thanksgiving. Two weeks
before the holiday, it doesn't seem so bad
to study on Thanksgiving day. But when
the day comes and there's a 20-pound
turkey cooking in the oven, and a house-ful
of relatives running around, studying
seems like a word out of a Cantonese dic-tionary.
And while I'm on the subject, I
never got my book for English Comp.
read during Christmas vacation. And re-member
how I knitted arygles instead of
writing that term paper which I was sure
I would get done?
Love,
Sis
I'm smorgy returning students remember me i've been crawling around bethel for
years but changes have occurred take the school colors now we've got blue and yellow
i mean gold before it was red and white so we have to buy new sweaters again but the
name is new too guess mr. bloom wanted it different so he campaigned for royals i
want to give you new students some advice on how to be popular in two weeks without
effort just do what i say and you're it first remember a good start is half the battle
lust spend the first couple of weeks gaining friends and don't study 'there's plenty of
time for studies later there's always a night before the exams also you will be a class
favorite if you speak up and let the teachers know they are overworking you speak up
and your clasmates will love you and help us make bethel a big happy family treat the
professors like any other ioe give them a good slap on the ba:k occasionaly your class-mates
will admire you another aid for new students is to show everyone your leader-ship
qualities how do you expect to be class president if you don't tell everyone you
want the job remember class elections are coming up soon nothing lik office popularity
if you want to be success you better practice a policy of tearing through the crowded
hall and get out the door first that way there will be a lot of room left for the others
and if you see a chow line it would be best to sneak up to the front , if you go to the
back it would lust make the line longer it would benefit the upperclassmen if you
would tell them you are taking some swimming lessons and that you would like to
practice in the bath tub they may help you in i can help you out by advising about
football games we want students with school spirit so when our man makes a mistake
yell at him others will notice the noise you make for the school some more tips will
help you too when you are at the bank don't pay milford until several months have
passed keep it behind schedule he's a slow adder and wants added time and if you come
iate to the post office window and it's closed just pound on it til Jeanne opens it she
wants you to buy stamps one at a time and be happy now i have tried to get you off to
a good start just follow my pointers i better say good-bye to you now then for you
won't be here when the next clarion comes out.

meeting is to aid in reorganizing and enlarging the entire extra-curricular
speech program.
Coach Grabill urges that every college student interested in extra-curricular
forensics be in attendance at this short meeting. The number
present will largely determine the outcome of this year's speech ac-tivities.

Students
by Dean
Edwin Omark
The opening of school in the
Seminary marks the fulfillment
of your plans. Through high
school and college you have pre-pared
yourselves for entrance in-to
a "school of the prophets" in
order to train professionally for
the Gospel ministry. Now those
dreams are a reality.
•
When you read these lines you
have, already registered. You
have been greeted by faculty
members and fellow students. We
trust the welcome expressed or-ally
and by handshake has con-veyed
the sincerity of our senti-ments.
With the passing of time
you will experience more signifi-cant
expressions of Christian
friendship and fellowship. These
will become a part of your life,
a rich deposit of golden memor-ies.
We say "Welcome" to all of
of you, and we mean it from
our hearts.
Gospel Team
Workers Wanted
Gospel teams can look forward
to a full and active year in Christ-ian
services. Already churches
are calling for instrumental-
Asts, song-leaders, directors for
youth choirs, and various vocal
combinations.
Mr. Featherstone will be glad
to talk to any of the students
who want to be on gospel teams
or work in some field of Christ-ian
work. He will meet with the
teams and advisers next week to
help make plans for the coming
year.
Language Clubs
Invite Frosh
Bethel's three language clubs —
Swidish, German and Spanish —
meet once a month to better ac-quaint
the members with the lang
uage and country and to promote
fellowship among those interested
in each language. The clubs are
composed of members from each
of the language classes as well as
students interested in any of the
particular programs.
Officers for the coming year are
the following: Swedish club presi-dent
is Dick Johnson and Bonnie
Welin is vice-president; Bud Lee
serves as president of German club
with Jean Seldon vice-president
and Carla Kern, secretary-treas-urer.
Spanish club vice-president,
Betty Gulbranson, and Ruth Ed-wards
is social chairman. The
Spanish club will elect new officers
at the next meeting to replace
those who didn't return.
All freshmen and new students
who are interested in any of these
clubs should watch the bulletin
boards for notice of meetings in
the near future.
Last year's Forensic Association
was exclusively confined to inter-collegiate
debate, oratory, extem-pore
speaking, and discussion. In-creased
response has made it pos-sible
to enlarge the activities to in-clude
dramatic interpretation.
skits, readings, and other related
projects, Larger participation, for
Bethel debaters in both men's ana
women's division is expected for
intercollegiate tournaments. The
new program may include some
long distance meets plus additional
speech tours.
Mr. Grabill optimistically hopes
to top last season's success. The
'52 - '53 debaters placed in five ma-jor
tournaments including two
grand national awards at Fred-ricksberg,
Virginia, and runner-up
post at the Minnesota state tourna-ment.

Student Searde
by Wendell Anderson
Freshmen week is nearly over.
But for the Student Senate, work
has just begun. Plans for Home-coming
are beginning to take form.
Deeper Life Week is clearly ii
sight. The line of events which
will stretch down the days and
weeks and months of the new
school year assures Bethel students
of no dull moments.
From the Student Senate in the
coming year will flow the organiz-ation,
promotion, and general con-trol
of all extra-curricular activi-ties,
social or religious in nature.
The executive committee, council
chairmen, and representatives
which compose the Senate are not,
however, an oligarchy arbitrarily
ordering the social and religious
life on campus. The Senate is ra-ther
the whole student body on a
miniture workable scale. As the
elected representative of the stu-dent
body it is under obligation to
faithfully and effectively respond
to the desires of students and fac-ulty.
The aim of this year's Senate
is to act as a mirror which re-flects
perfectly in every action the
need and will of the majority.
The hope of the Senate is that
the maze of events which will
sweep across the Bethel campus
this year will not come as just "ac•
tivities", but as opportunities. An
industrial psychologist has been
quoted as saying,
"Many a Napoleon has remained
a clerk . . . in a countinghouse
without even dreaming that he
might have been a great general.
Many a man capable of breaking
the world's record in the quarter-mile
dash has never ventured on a
cin r track.

Bethel Widens
Curriculum
New courses of study have
this year been opened to Bethel
students. In the area of social
work, Miss Betty Danielson will
be teaching classes on the Field
of Social Work and Public Wel-fare.
Mr. Royal Bloom is teaching
an education sequence for those
who wish to ,go into secondary
education. It will involve In-troduction
to Education during
'all__ quarter__ and Educational
Psychology___ a n d____ Educational
Measurements in the winter and
spring quarters respectively.
The new courses in business
education will be under the in-struction
of Miss Ellen Lehr. Typ-ing,

Lundeen Returns
To Coaching Staff
Lynn Lundeen, former Bethel
coach, has returned to the campu,
to grind the Royals for their 1.953
season.
Coach Lundeen, who came to
Bethel in 1950, has recently been
relieved from his tour of two years'
active duty with the U. S. Army.
During his duty with the Army he
played football with the 28th Div-ision
which was serving in Europe.
There he was line coach.
Born in Minneapolis, March 10,
1928, graduated from Edison High
School and later Augsburg College
with a B.A., he disclosed he's quite
native to this region.
Many who knew him when he
was formerly here have anticipated
his return as coach again to our
campus. The men on the team find
him "a great guy" and highly res-pect
his perspective on how to play
a game.
Coach Lundeen warns that the
future looks "cloudy" for the Roy-als.
"We need more men," he ex-plained,
"and lots of work on the
fundamentals of football.
Football Roster

Although the official roster of
the Bethel football team is, not
available at the time, we have here
a listing of most of the players and
their respective positions. GUards
include John Berg, Paul Berg, Jim
Long, Stan Patterson, Duane POple,
Carl Sundeen, Dave Seaquist, Dar-win
Brayton and Wayne Blomgren.

Bethel Falls to Whapeton 26-0
by Dale Nystrom
The Bethel Royals opened their 1953 gridiron season last Saturday
night by bowing to No. Dakota's Whapeton Science School with a
stabbing defeat.
Using an offensive single-wing formation, shifted to the right,
the Royals' eleven dug into the turf to hold Wop to their only touch-down

Defensive playing varied from a standard 6-2-2-1 to a 5-4-2, called

Bethel vs. Hamline Tonight
Ravridd., ia4 Sea4a#a Secoaci exi4a.
Tonight at Hamline University's Norton Field the Bethel Royals
hit the gridiron for a kick at their second season of a Minnesota Colle-giate
conference team.
Contrary to popular belief, the Rasmussen twins (so upsetting
last year) are not drafted, but will be back in full regalia in an attempt
to sprint past the Royals' eleven tonight. The twins (each of whom
scored two touchdowns against Bethel last year) might be as confused
as they are confusing by Bethel's twin guards, John and Paul Berg.
Only five lettermen are back this game for Bethel (Stipe still
being in the hospital with his injured knee) and the rest of the team is
still relatively inexperienced.
This is the Royal's second game
this fall. Last week they fell to
Whapeton with a 26.0 defeat. There
will be a few changes in tonight's
starting eleven from last week's.
Quarterbacks Ed Brunzell and
Ron Skoog will be calling the plays
tonight. Other spirited backs are
expected to be Wayne MacArthur,
Bruce Steinhaus, and Don Helton.
The Royals are expected to play
a much better game tonight. Coach
Lundeen has hustled them all week
with some rough contact. The
Hamline line is heavy and hard
hitting, almost impregnable. The
backfield is fast and well experi-enced.
But, inspite of the pessim-ism,
the Royals are ready for a
rough and tough game.
Bethel students and followers
are reminded that they will be ad-mitted
upon the presentation of
their activity tickets.

CONFERENCE ELECTS LUNDQUIST PRESIDENT
Succeeds Dr. Wingblade
In September 1954
President Emeritus
Called to Eternal Reward
Working side by side this year with school president Dr. Wing-blade
will be Bethel's new president-elect the Rev. Carl Lundquist, who,
until recently, has been pastor of Elim Baptist Church, Chicago. Rev.
Lundquist was elected the next school president by the Baptist General
Conference last June at Sioux Falls, S.D. to succeed Dr. Wingblade,
who retires. He officially takes office September 1, 1954.
This week the President's of-fice
issued the statement that
during this school year, the pres-ident-
elect will acquaint himself
with the duties of his anticipated
office, plus share in school pro-motional
work. He will also study
administration at the U. of Minne-sota.
Tentative plans are that the
Rev. Lundquist will teach in the
speech department of the semin-ary
for the fall quarter.
Born in Elgin, III., the 37 year
old president elect grew up in
Sioux Falls, S. D., where he was
converted and baptized at the age
of 11. As a young man, he was
a leader in Conference young peo-ple's
work. He was graduated
from Sioux Fallr ,, Ilege in 1939
with an A. B. J-r 11-8/ee and from
• Bethel Seminar' u1ri9r 42 with the
degree of B. D ‘ er taking one
year of graduate tduies at Eas-tern
Baptist Seminary, the Rev.
Lundquist was ordained on May
16, 1944, and began .serving the
E-;:n.it Baptist Church in Chicago,
where he has served for the past
10 years.
The new president elect is soon
to receive the degree of D. Th.
from Northern Baptist Seminary
in Chicago, where he has been
teaching in the speech depart-ment.
For the past two years, the
Rev. Lundquist has been acting
as chairman of the board of trus-tees
of the General Baptist Con
ference.
New Instructors
Join Faculty
Included in the many changes
and improvements on campus
this year, there are additions to
the faculty which will increase
our teaching staff.
Miss Lillian Ryberg, instructor
in Spanish, has returned to the
Bethel faculty after a year of
absence. While gone, Miss Ry-berg
did graduate work at the
University of Minnesota and re-ceived
her master's degree there
last spring.
Greek students have a new in-structor
who is Mr. John Snyder,
a doctoral candidate at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota, specializing
in ancient history and languages.
Other instructors have been
added to the faculty because of
additional courses in the curricu-lum.
Miss Ellen Lehr of Grandy
City, Iowa has charge of the sec-retarial
studies. Miss Lehr spec-ialized
in business education at
Iowa State College, Cedar Falls,
Iowa, from which school she
holds her master's degree.
The course in social work will
be instructed by Miss Betty Dan-ielson,__
a Bethel alumna.__ Miss
Danielson received her master's
degree from the University of
Minnesota and has had much
practical experience in her field,
having worked with several Twin
City agencies, and is now the
Executive Secretary of the Big
Sister Organization in Minnea-polis.
Miss Danielson the daugh-ter
of Foriegn Mission's Secre-tary,
Walfred Danielson.
Under the direction of Mr.
Charles Erickson, Bethel is this
year planning on a bigger and
better band. Mr. Erickson has
been director of bands in Cam-bridge
which have won state
honors recently and therefore, he
comes with a reputation for being
a good bandmaster.
The athletic department also
has a new instructor in the per-son
of Mr. Lynn Lundin, foot-ball
coach. The Bethel team was
coached by Mr. Lundin, in 1950,
a successful year for football, and
since that time Mr. Lundin has
served his term as a G.I.

Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom, pres-ident
of Bethel from 1914 to
1941 and long a prominent lead-er
in the Baptist General Confer-ence,
died after a lingering ill-ness
on Wednesday evening, Sept.
16, at Midway Hospital. He re-
After a long and unusually
successful ministry, Dr. G. Arvid
Hagstrom, age 86, president em-eritus
of Bethel College and
Seminary, passed to his reward
September 16, 1953. He was born
near the city of Sundsvall in
northern Sweden, September 8,
1867. As a young child he came
with his parents to the United
States, settling first in Red Wing,
Minnesota, and in Minneapolis
the year 1872. At the age of fif-teen
he was won to the Lord,
and joined the First Swedish
Baptist Church (Bethlehem) of
Minneapolis. Under the aggres-sive
leadership of his pastor,
young Hagstrom soon caught the
vision of the "fields white unto
harvest."
Hagstrom prepared himself for
his life work at the Swedish de-partment
of the Divinity School
of the University of Chicago, and
graduated with the class of 1892.
It was a notable class, including
a number of later denominational
leaders and the well known for-eign
missionary, 0. L. Swanson,
commonly known as "the Billy
Sunday of Assam." Having serv-ed
as Sunday School missionary
in Illinois a few years, Hagstrom
assumed the pastorate in 1896 of
the First Swedish Baptist Church
(Addison Street) of Chicago,
which at that time was the larg-est
church in the General Con-ference
fellowship with a mem-bership
of six hundred. After ten
years of a very successful soul-winning
ministry, a wider field of
service claimed him, and in the
next three years, 1906-1909, he
covered the whole General Con-ference
area as Mission and Pro-motional
Secretary. In 1909 he
responded to a call to the Payne
cently passed his 86th birthday.
Funeral services were held at
the Payne Ave. Baptist church of
St. Paul where Dr. Hagstrom had
been an active member for sev-eral
decades aild where he serv-ed
as pastor from 1909 to 1914.
His casket was adorned with a
large spray of flowers from "the
Bethel family".
Rev. Robert Devine, pastor of
the Payne Ave. church, officiated
and Rev. Martin Erikson, editor
of THE STANDARD, delivered
the funeral address. Others who
shared in the service were Dr.
Ragnar Arlander, former mission
secretary of the General Confer-ence;
Dr. Curtis Akenson, pastor
of the First Baptist church of
Minneapolis and Dr. H. C. Wing-blade.

Avenue Church of St. Paul.
It was thus with a life rich in
experience as pastor and mission-ary
administrator that Hagstrom
took up work as president of the
combined schools, Bethel Acad-emy
and Theological Seminary
(Bethel College and Seminary)
3 nuary 1, 1914. Here he gave
twenty-seven years of his life, re-tiring
in 1941, to the training
of _ young people__ for Christian
service. The work was not easy.
There were many dark days, and
days of economic__ uncertainty.
Yet, through it all, the same faith
that characterized the early lead-ers
of the school did not fail, and
Hagstrom, under__ God,._ led the
school__ to success._ One of__ the
high lights in the early days of
his promotional work at Bethel
was undoubtedly the time when
he received a donation of ten
thousand dollars from James Hill,
the founder of the Great North-ern
Railway System.
Upon retirement from the
presidency of Bethel, Hagstrom
remained two years as part time
teacher in the Seminary. In 1943
he returned to his first love, the
pastorate, and assumed the duties
as minister of the Emerald Aven-ue
Church of Chicago. After two
years, a failing of health forced
him to retire.
His talent for leadership and
administration, his great capac-ity
for work, the strongly evang-elistic
emphasis in his preach-ing,
and his friendly attitude to-ward
people, including little
children--these are some of the
human factors in the successful
ministry of G. Arvid Hagstrom.
And the great secret of it all,
the basic factor, was a life touch-ed
by God.
President-Elect Lundquist
Dr. E. L. Ackley of C6ntral Seminary
Speaks at Deeper Liff. Seroces
Deeper Life Week Services will commence Monday, October
12, and continue through the 16th, with Dr. Ernest L. Ackley as the
main speaker. Dr. Ackley is the Dean of Central Baptist Theological
Seminary in Kansas City, Kansas, and will be addressing the seminary
chapels Tuesday through Friday of that week, as well as the evening
vesper services.
Speaker in the college chapel
services will be Rev. Wesley L.
Gustafson, pastor of the First Ey.
angelical Free Church, St. Paul. It
is to meet the separate needs of
the college and seminary students
that these two speakers have been
engaged for the different chapel
services each day.
Although the theme has not yet
been chosen for this week of meet-ings,
the faculty-student planning
committee, of which Prof. Clifford
Larson is the director, has stated
the purpose of Deeper Life Week
"to help students make more vital
their personal relationship to Jesus
Christ as Savior and Lord, espec-ially
as this relates to basic desires
or motives, to diligent and mean-ingful
Bible study and prayer, and
to ethical living."

Smorgy the Silverfish
We must simply wait and speculate.
Will Bethelites be prone to apply the el-ementary
principles of "Christian living-by-
grace" to the new lounge furniture of
the Edgren and Bodien dormitories?
Of course, we all want to express our
heartiest appreciation to Mr. Lidbom and
the rest of the personnel for adding this
bit of comfort and splendor to our cam-pus.
Now the sincerity of our stated
gratitude remains to be seen. How long
will it be before once more an occasional
split and dripping orange will be found
resting sponge-like under a Bodien love-seat?
Will the mantle mirror soon bear
the cracked aftereffects of a misguided
wallet illshot in a game of spontaneous
keep-away? Could this mean an end to
the boorish imita,'-ions of Gorgeous George
and The Mighty Atlas (which, incidently,
usually included the liberal employment
of davenports and cushions) or at least
a transfer from the lounges to more ap-propriate
quarters?
In short, the condition of the lounges
and furniture will in the main depend
upon the students' reaction—or should
we say, it depends upon their reformation.
The old furniture received much legiti-mate,
hard use, and it also received far
too much unnecessary abuse. Such might

played in competition—East against West.
The West won the boys tug of war and
the girls tug of war, while the East won
the boys soft-ball game.
Other parts of the retreat were the fel-lowship
and social hours. Saturday even-ing
during the social hour, the counsel-lors
presented a skit- depicting student
life at Bethel. Sunday afternoon the Beth-el
film was shown to better acquaint the
freshman with the school.
Then, of course, the highlights of the
retreat were the wonderful message given
by President Wingblade, Dean Carlson,
and the guest speaker and chalk artist,
Dr. Virgil Olson and Prof. Gene Johnson.
The spiritual peak of the camp seemed to
be the message given by Dr. Virgil Olson
Saturday night, followed by Prof. John-son's
drawing of the Head of Christ fol-lowed
by a campfire service. Although it
was very cold during the camp-fire ser-vice
every student was warmed in his
heart to hear how the Lord had saved his
fellow students and led them to Bethel.
Many thanks to Dr. Olson and Prof. John-son
for their part in making this year's
Freshman retreat the success that it was.

well be expected in an American Legion
"party room", but at Bethel it ought not
so to be.
The Apostle wisely stated, "When I
became a man, I put away childish
things." It might be much to our combin-ed
advantage if we channeled our policy
along the same course. The beginning of
the school year has found the lounges
in a comparative state of immaculate con-ception.
Will they stay that way? "To be
or not to be" is still the question.
by Stretch
by President Wingblade
To all new students we do say a "hearty
welcome to Bethel" and to former students
—"Welcome back." The doors of a great
year are open. Shall we enter to its great-iness.
We read in Genesis of Abraham and his
companions: "They went forth to go into
the land of Canaan and into the land of
Canaan they came." But they found that
this land was not necessarily a land of
peace except as they had it in their own
hearts.
That was true of Israel also when they
crossed the Jordan into Canaan. They
found many enemies even there—but great
victories when they obeyed the Lord. Can-aan
was not a type of heaven but a place of
battles and great victories — if they put
their trust in God.
And so you set out this fall to go to Bethel
and to Bethel you have come. Bethel is the
House of God — but only to those who have
God in their hearts. Just as Satanic forces
were very busy in Canaan so they can be
busy even at Bethel if we are not on our
guard.
What is the recipe for victory at Bethel?
I think we know. It is to walk in close fel-lowship
with the Lord — to have daily com-munion
with Him and to take advantage of
every means of grace.
God never meant a Christian to stand
alone. That is one reason for the church.
Shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart wt.
go forward.
And so at Bethel shall we do just that
this year. Staying close to the Christ, feed-ing
on His Word, calling on His Name—and
then keeping a close fellowship with those
that love Him—in prayer groups, in chapel,
in gospel teams, in the churches we attend
and in our own private devotion alone or
with the roommate. That way victory lies.
Yes — a great year lies ahead.
"When the heart grows faint
And the soul grows weary —
Brother, work, watch, pray.
For your work will bring you the greatest
pleasure,
And your prayers reward
is the richest treasure,
Brother, work, watch, pray."
I Resolve .. .
by Eloise Anderson
Dear Joan,
Classes are in full swing now, so
there's plenty of studying to do. In fact.
when I finish this letter, I Piave at least
four hours' homework to do. Glad to hear
that you've decided to come to Bethel
next year. The fellowship is wonderful
as I've always told you, but now I'm
going t∎ o tell you a few of the things I
haven't, told you- -it's about what I'd do if
I were freshman again.
To be in with, after the whirl of Fresh-man
Re eat, mixers, talent night and ini-tiation,
faced the innocent-sounding sub-jectsBible
Survey, Biology, Modern
tWorld, Swedish, Freshman Comp.—and
an aval4nche of reading, writing, and me-morizing
such as I'd never ever been
snowed under by before!
That first week, I remember, no one
studied—of us freshman, that is. I mean,
it took awhile to get settled and organized
and well—there was a whole quarter to
study in—why do it when the weather
was so nice. In fact with the week end
coming up, T had all day Saturday to
study.
That's how I got four chapters behind
in Modern World. You see, Saturday I
had to go shopping for the things I for-got
to bring with me. (And it takes so
long to get downtown on these crazy St.
Paul buses!) Then when I got back, I had
to write and tell Jerry that I had decided
to break up with him, which was why I
couldn't concentrate or bear to study for
a whole week.
Well, by that time, I was seven and a
half chapters behind in Modetn World.
(Really eight chapters because I didn't
know what I read in that first half.) I
forgot exactly how much I was behind in
Swedish. (By the way, it's wise to keep up
in Swedish!) And to top it all off, I was
lost in Biology. When midquarters came
and went, I almost went, too. I never told
you about that, did I?
To get to my first point—if I were a
freshman again, I'd keep my work up
from my first 8:00 o'clock class to my last
final of the quarter. Then I wouldn't have
had to miss that hayride to bone up for
Slivka's Biology "Qris" which in due course,
I nearly flunked anyway. And maybe I
would have had a bright-eyed, full-of-green-
vegetables look instead of the half-sick,
half-dead look of a 3:00 in the mor-ning
bedtime. I would have gotten more
out of studying, which was why I came
to Bethel.
I think if I were a freshman again, I'd
simply never cut classes, not even to
study for an important exam. It didn't
pay in the long run I found out. I couldn't
understand my roommates Bible Survey
notes. The boy behind me took pretty
careful notes—I could at least understand
them if I could read them, but he just
couldn't write or spell—especially names
Welcome
tO
College
by Dean C. E.
Carlson
This noon as I drove back from the fresh-man
retreat, I noticed that the leaves were
turning to new, more brilliant colors. Is it
coincidence that this should come at the
time school begins? Perhaps it is not. Per-haps
it is symbolic — r I'd of fall festiv-ity
to celebrate the s icance of these
days.
If I am not inistaken, there are a great
many people on our campus who are just
starting out on very colorful trails. The
beauty will consist largely in the variatifr..ts
and the contrasts. The very drab witl be
blended with the very brilliant experiences,
and in the combinations there will be much
pleasure and delight.
The first few days may be dominated by
colors, but within a week or two the more
solid, less exciting, shades will take over
and make a stable background to college
experience. These are the shades that will
wear well, and that will become part of
your lives in a larger way. Living effect-ively
for the Lord is fine art that requires
good mature judgement which balances the
somber and the brilliant.
When I say, "welcome to Bethel" I mean,
welcome to the exciting social and athletic
events, but also to the many hours of hard
study. I mean welcome to the mountain-top
spiritual inspirations, but also to the frus-trating
and humbling experiences which
teach a dependence upon God. I mean wel-come
to a jovial, laughing fellowship, but
welcome, too, to a fellowship burdened and
heavy of soul for the needs of people.
like Jehoshaphat and Melchizedek. So all
the time it took to make up for a missing
lecture, took extra time froth my study
hours, which took time from my sleeping
hours, which made me get less out of
studying when I did do it, which made
me less ready for a test which—well, it
was just a big vicious circle and it was
throwing me. So on the basis of excruci-ating
experience, cutting doesn't pay!
Well, one learns by experience, and
another thing I learned was not to take
books home for Thanksgiving. Two weeks
before the holiday, it doesn't seem so bad
to study on Thanksgiving day. But when
the day comes and there's a 20-pound
turkey cooking in the oven, and a house-ful
of relatives running around, studying
seems like a word out of a Cantonese dic-tionary.
And while I'm on the subject, I
never got my book for English Comp.
read during Christmas vacation. And re-member
how I knitted arygles instead of
writing that term paper which I was sure
I would get done?
Love,
Sis
I'm smorgy returning students remember me i've been crawling around bethel for
years but changes have occurred take the school colors now we've got blue and yellow
i mean gold before it was red and white so we have to buy new sweaters again but the
name is new too guess mr. bloom wanted it different so he campaigned for royals i
want to give you new students some advice on how to be popular in two weeks without
effort just do what i say and you're it first remember a good start is half the battle
lust spend the first couple of weeks gaining friends and don't study 'there's plenty of
time for studies later there's always a night before the exams also you will be a class
favorite if you speak up and let the teachers know they are overworking you speak up
and your clasmates will love you and help us make bethel a big happy family treat the
professors like any other ioe give them a good slap on the ba:k occasionaly your class-mates
will admire you another aid for new students is to show everyone your leader-ship
qualities how do you expect to be class president if you don't tell everyone you
want the job remember class elections are coming up soon nothing lik office popularity
if you want to be success you better practice a policy of tearing through the crowded
hall and get out the door first that way there will be a lot of room left for the others
and if you see a chow line it would be best to sneak up to the front , if you go to the
back it would lust make the line longer it would benefit the upperclassmen if you
would tell them you are taking some swimming lessons and that you would like to
practice in the bath tub they may help you in i can help you out by advising about
football games we want students with school spirit so when our man makes a mistake
yell at him others will notice the noise you make for the school some more tips will
help you too when you are at the bank don't pay milford until several months have
passed keep it behind schedule he's a slow adder and wants added time and if you come
iate to the post office window and it's closed just pound on it til Jeanne opens it she
wants you to buy stamps one at a time and be happy now i have tried to get you off to
a good start just follow my pointers i better say good-bye to you now then for you
won't be here when the next clarion comes out.

THE CLARION
Debate Reorganizes
An early meeting has been called for the Bethel Forensic Associ-ation.
It is scheduled for Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m. in room 204 of
the college. Debate coach Paul Grabill said that the purpose for this
meeting is to aid in reorganizing and enlarging the entire extra-curricular
speech program.
Coach Grabill urges that every college student interested in extra-curricular
forensics be in attendance at this short meeting. The number
present will largely determine the outcome of this year's speech ac-tivities.
Welcom e
to Sem.
Students
by Dean
Edwin Omark
The opening of school in the
Seminary marks the fulfillment
of your plans. Through high
school and college you have pre-pared
yourselves for entrance in-to
a "school of the prophets" in
order to train professionally for
the Gospel ministry. Now those
dreams are a reality.
•
When you read these lines you
have, already registered. You
have been greeted by faculty
members and fellow students. We
trust the welcome expressed or-ally
and by handshake has con-veyed
the sincerity of our senti-ments.
With the passing of time
you will experience more signifi-cant
expressions of Christian
friendship and fellowship. These
will become a part of your life,
a rich deposit of golden memor-ies.
We say "Welcome" to all of
of you, and we mean it from
our hearts.
Gospel Team
Workers Wanted
Gospel teams can look forward
to a full and active year in Christ-ian
services. Already churches
are calling for instrumental-
Asts, song-leaders, directors for
youth choirs, and various vocal
combinations.
Mr. Featherstone will be glad
to talk to any of the students
who want to be on gospel teams
or work in some field of Christ-ian
work. He will meet with the
teams and advisers next week to
help make plans for the coming
year.
Language Clubs
Invite Frosh
Bethel's three language clubs —
Swidish, German and Spanish —
meet once a month to better ac-quaint
the members with the lang
uage and country and to promote
fellowship among those interested
in each language. The clubs are
composed of members from each
of the language classes as well as
students interested in any of the
particular programs.
Officers for the coming year are
the following: Swedish club presi-dent
is Dick Johnson and Bonnie
Welin is vice-president; Bud Lee
serves as president of German club
with Jean Seldon vice-president
and Carla Kern, secretary-treas-urer.
Spanish club vice-president,
Betty Gulbranson, and Ruth Ed-wards
is social chairman. The
Spanish club will elect new officers
at the next meeting to replace
those who didn't return.
All freshmen and new students
who are interested in any of these
clubs should watch the bulletin
boards for notice of meetings in
the near future.
Last year's Forensic Association
was exclusively confined to inter-collegiate
debate, oratory, extem-pore
speaking, and discussion. In-creased
response has made it pos-sible
to enlarge the activities to in-clude
dramatic interpretation.
skits, readings, and other related
projects, Larger participation, for
Bethel debaters in both men's ana
women's division is expected for
intercollegiate tournaments. The
new program may include some
long distance meets plus additional
speech tours.
Mr. Grabill optimistically hopes
to top last season's success. The
'52 - '53 debaters placed in five ma-jor
tournaments including two
grand national awards at Fred-ricksberg,
Virginia, and runner-up
post at the Minnesota state tourna-ment.
Clarion Party
Planned For
Monday Night
Freshmen as well as upper-class-men
who are interested in work-ing
on the CLARION staff this
year, are invited to attend the
"CLARION - get - acquainted -
night" next Monday evening at 7:30
p.m. in the basement of the boys'
dormitory.

Student Searde
by Wendell Anderson
Freshmen week is nearly over.
But for the Student Senate, work
has just begun. Plans for Home-coming
are beginning to take form.
Deeper Life Week is clearly ii
sight. The line of events which
will stretch down the days and
weeks and months of the new
school year assures Bethel students
of no dull moments.
From the Student Senate in the
coming year will flow the organiz-ation,
promotion, and general con-trol
of all extra-curricular activi-ties,
social or religious in nature.
The executive committee, council
chairmen, and representatives
which compose the Senate are not,
however, an oligarchy arbitrarily
ordering the social and religious
life on campus. The Senate is ra-ther
the whole student body on a
miniture workable scale. As the
elected representative of the stu-dent
body it is under obligation to
faithfully and effectively respond
to the desires of students and fac-ulty.
The aim of this year's Senate
is to act as a mirror which re-flects
perfectly in every action the
need and will of the majority.
The hope of the Senate is that
the maze of events which will
sweep across the Bethel campus
this year will not come as just "ac•
tivities", but as opportunities. An
industrial psychologist has been
quoted as saying,
"Many a Napoleon has remained
a clerk . . . in a countinghouse
without even dreaming that he
might have been a great general.
Many a man capable of breaking
the world's record in the quarter-mile
dash has never ventured on a
cin r track.
_ .
Bethel Widens
Curriculum
New courses of study have
this year been opened to Bethel
students. In the area of social
work, Miss Betty Danielson will
be teaching classes on the Field
of Social Work and Public Wel-fare.
Mr. Royal Bloom is teaching
an education sequence for those
who wish to ,go into secondary
education. It will involve In-troduction
to Education during
'all__ quarter__ and Educational
Psychology___ a n d____ Educational
Measurements in the winter and
spring quarters respectively.
The new courses in business
education will be under the in-struction
of Miss Ellen Lehr. Typ-ing,
Gregg shorthand and secret-arial
courses will be offered.

Lundeen Returns
To Coaching Staff
Lynn Lundeen, former Bethel
coach, has returned to the campu,
to grind the Royals for their 1.953
season.
Coach Lundeen, who came to
Bethel in 1950, has recently been
relieved from his tour of two years'
active duty with the U. S. Army.
During his duty with the Army he
played football with the 28th Div-ision
which was serving in Europe.
There he was line coach.
Born in Minneapolis, March 10,
1928, graduated from Edison High
School and later Augsburg College
with a B.A., he disclosed he's quite
native to this region.
Many who knew him when he
was formerly here have anticipated
his return as coach again to our
campus. The men on the team find
him "a great guy" and highly res-pect
his perspective on how to play
a game.
Coach Lundeen warns that the
future looks "cloudy" for the Roy-als.
"We need more men," he ex-plained,
"and lots of work on the
fundamentals of football.
Football Roster
Includes 32 Players
Although the official roster of
the Bethel football team is, not
available at the time, we have here
a listing of most of the players and
their respective positions. GUards
include John Berg, Paul Berg, Jim
Long, Stan Patterson, Duane POple,
Carl Sundeen, Dave Seaquist, Dar-win
Brayton and Wayne Blomgren.
Dale Nystrom, Dick Pearson, ;Gay-len
Jensen, Jay Dikkers and J'erry

Bethel Falls to Whapeton 26-0
by Dale Nystrom
The Bethel Royals opened their 1953 gridiron season last Saturday
night by bowing to No. Dakota's Whapeton Science School with a
stabbing defeat.
Using an offensive single-wing formation, shifted to the right,
the Royals' eleven dug into the turf to hold Wop to their only touch-down
in the first half.
Defensive playing varied from a standard 6-2-2-1 to a 5-4-2, called

Bethel vs. Hamline Tonight
Ravridd., ia4 Sea4a#a Secoaci exi4a.
Tonight at Hamline University's Norton Field the Bethel Royals
hit the gridiron for a kick at their second season of a Minnesota Colle-giate
conference team.
Contrary to popular belief, the Rasmussen twins (so upsetting
last year) are not drafted, but will be back in full regalia in an attempt
to sprint past the Royals' eleven tonight. The twins (each of whom
scored two touchdowns against Bethel last year) might be as confused
as they are confusing by Bethel's twin guards, John and Paul Berg.
Only five lettermen are back this game for Bethel (Stipe still
being in the hospital with his injured knee) and the rest of the team is
still relatively inexperienced.
This is the Royal's second game
this fall. Last week they fell to
Whapeton with a 26.0 defeat. There
will be a few changes in tonight's
starting eleven from last week's.
Quarterbacks Ed Brunzell and
Ron Skoog will be calling the plays
tonight. Other spirited backs are
expected to be Wayne MacArthur,
Bruce Steinhaus, and Don Helton.
The Royals are expected to play
a much better game tonight. Coach
Lundeen has hustled them all week
with some rough contact. The
Hamline line is heavy and hard
hitting, almost impregnable. The
backfield is fast and well experi-enced.
But, inspite of the pessim-ism,
the Royals are ready for a
rough and tough game.
Bethel students and followers
are reminded that they will be ad-mitted
upon the presentation of
their activity tickets.
